I decided I should blog about what they found out about my sugar problems. Because I am sure there are millions out there that are just waiting in anticipation, heehee ya right. But for those of you who do read this I am going to give you good news and let you know my sugar levels came back normal. Not sure why I was spilling sugar in my urine but Doc. says it doesn't matter as long as my blood levels are good. YAY. I go in again tomorrow for my weekly tests. Hopefully they go by reasonably quickly.

On a positive note for me I was able to get my carseat and stroller. I have been eyeing a set for 3 months now but it was just sooooo ridiculously expensive. Leave it to me to want the most expensive one. Anyways so it kept going on and off decent sales and than the price kept dropping and dropping so I knew it was going to get clearanced out but I still didn't have money for that right now. Well little blessing for me came in disguise of the republican party. Most of you know that my mom is running for election to County Clerk. After the caucus night last Tuesday they had to enter in all the names of delegates and attendees that were there. Unfortunately for the republican party all the peeps who usually do this are all running for election and conflict of interest says they can't be involved. Which left me, daughter of a famous politician (heehee) with lots of free time to put in these 500 names of attendees. After spending 3 days on my project I turned the papers in and they gave me a gift card in appreciation. Not just any gift card but a gift card to cover the price of my stroller/carseat completely!! Yay for blessings. So now I have ordered it and it should be here on Monday. I may find a doll and take it on walks around the block just to break in the stroller before baby gets here..........

Ahh crap.......

That is what this week has felt like, just a long big sigh of "ahhhh crap". I had my weekly appointment with my doctor on Wednesday and am happy to report that after my NST (non-stress test) the baby was declared super well and healthy! Hooray for baby. I was not soo healthy, this is where my ahh crap comes in, I had an infection. And some sugar spilling in my urine, whatever the crap that means. So after getting lectured on why I still haven't gone in to take my glucose test my doctor made me swear I would go do it. So that was what I went to do today. I did the 8 hour fast and went in and drank the nasty drink....... than I puked it right back up. Darn. So I get to fast again and eat jelly beans instead. I hate jelly beans. Hopefully after I down those the test will say the sugar problem is a fluke and I don't have gestational diabetes.

On a bright note I am having a baby shower tomorrow. Hooray. I am very excited and totally looking forward to it!!

My latest endeavor!!

All week I have been working on a project for the unborn babe. I stole the idea from Josh's cousin and just tweaked it a little. I love the colors I picked out for her nursery and think this will fit right in............








So in love with it, being completely vain but who cares? It's stinking cute!!

The importance of today....

I don't know if anyone realized but at midnight tonight New Moon is being released on dvd. I could tell you I am excited but if I am taking the time to write about it on my blog I suppose my excitement is fairly obvious!!! Woohoo :)

Doctor visit.

I went to my doctor today for my weekly routine visit, which now include non-stress tests. Turns out he didn't have me do a stress test but some other long named test that requires me to sit in a super comfy recliner for 30 minutes. (painful right) Well this test monitored the baby's movements and heartbeat and typically would monitor my contractions but doc. felt it was not needed today. I was at the doctor for an hour and a half for this one little test! He warned me from here on out to plan to spend 3 to 4 hours each week at the doctor's. Makes me really grateful I never did find that full time job. Anyways, getting off-track here, these 4 hours are going to consist of the following tests (and I have no idea what they are really called, this is just my interpretation): first i have to do a non-stress test which they do over at the hospital, than i go to doc.'s for my fetal tracking whatever, than from there I will have an ultrasound, following that doc. needs to do tests to make sure I have the correct amount of amniotic fluid, and lastly some bio-physical makeup thing which I am still not sure what that is.

So this will be my Wednesday activity from here on out. If anyone has some good reading material suggestions I will take it, seeing as I will be sitting strapped to monitors a few hours every Wednesday!!

Keeping up.

I feel like I have finally gotten on top of all the things I say I am going to do and than I look around and realize that what may be done is nowhere near what needs to be done. It's all about keeping up in my life. I feel that if I can just wish it I can have it, if only wishes were fishes... ya ya I know.

On a sidenote I am working again. Not much just 3 days a week at the local scrapbook store. It has been alot of fun so far and great for me to be out doing something again. Josh's work has him running all over and tied up so much that he has become my little workaholic. That is fine as long as by May they let him slow down a little. We went to Josh's brother and his wife's baby blessing, well rather we found the place in time to have the sacrament. Sorry guys we really really tried to be there!! Then last Sunday my sister had her baby blessed. It has been a crazy couple of weeks and I am glad for a day off, how lame is that? I am too exhausted to be working full time so I am glad that I won't ever be asked to!!

I go to the Doctor weekly now, which doesn't feel like much of a change because I swear I have already been going weekly for something or other. We are just running tests and checking on baby often, everything still seems to be going okay. I start my non-stress tests next week and depending on how those go I may be up to going twice a week to the Doctor. It is a good thing everybody at the Doctor's office is very friendly or I would be one irritated grumpy lady!!!

The funniest thing I hear lately is when people tell me that I must be so tired of being pregnant. I want to laugh and say "really? ya think?" it's one of those questions that seems obvious to me! Hopefully my manners can last another 8 weeks.
